Xtra COTW
Greeting once again WikiProject Oregon Folks. Time for another edition of the Collaboration of the Week. First, thank you to those who helped out on the last few COTWs. This week we have the soon to open Westside Express Service, formerly the Washington County Commuter Rail, so lets see if we can get it up to WPORE standards. Then there is a Coordinates Drive to add coordinates to any articles currently missing them, to help increase readership by allowing them to be shown on Google Earth/Maps.

Greetings WikiProject Oregon folks, time for another edition of the Collaboration of the Week! Last week we saw some good improvements made to Westside Express Service, while we also worked on a Coordinates Drive. I don’t know how many articles had the coordinates added to, but thanks to those who helped out. This week we have two more requests: William Clark of Lewis & Clark fame and the famed Oregon Bottle Bill. Hopefully we can work both up to B class.

Summer Time in the COTW
Hello again to those of the WikiProject Oregon Clan. Time for another new edition of Collaboration of the Week. Last week there was some good improvements to William Clark and the legendary Oregon Bottle Bill, great job to those who helped out. This week, by request is the Owyhee Reservoir, which is short enough to easily conjure up a DYK. Then, also by request is a red link elimination drive on Oregon newspapers.

Howdy ya’ll, its WikiProject Oregon Collaboration of the Week time! Thanks to those who helped improve Owyhee Reservoir and start some new Oregon newspaper article, we had four new ones. This week it is time for a Stub Improvement Drive. So select a Stub, any Stub, and try to improve it to at least a Start class.

1 Year of the Collaboration of the Week
Hello again to those of WikiProject Oregon. It is time again for another Collaboration of the Week. The last two weeks were a Stub Improvement Drive, and thank you to those who improved any Stubs.

This week marks the one week anniversary of the COTW, so a brief highlight reel: And now on with our countdown. This week we have two requests, the Willamette Meteorite and Tom McCall. Hopefully we can get both to GA quality. Click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Thank you. Aboutmovies (talk) 09:51, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * At least 10 DYKs
 * Three articles passed GA after being listed at COTW
 * Probably around 25 articles started
 * Almost all Top importance articles are now better than Stub class

Jim N E Cricket, its another Oregon Collaboration of the Week
Greetings WikiProject Oregon folks, it is time for another edition of the Collaboration of the Week! A big thanks to those who helped out in improving Tom McCall and the Willamette Meteorite last week. This week we have a request for Mr. Greg Oden who has been back in the news as of late, so hopefully we can get him up to B class before training camp starts. Then we have a Hospital red link drive with plenty of opportunity for DYKs! As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Bu bye.

Ssssh, Be Very Very Quiet, its Oregon COTW time
Howdy folks, its time for this week’s edition of Oregon’s Collaboration of the Week. First off, great job the last two weeks with Greg Oden & the Hospital red link drive. We had close to ten new hospital articles and two DYKs plus other improvements to the list itself. So thank you to those who helped out. This week, we have on a sad note Kevin Duckworth, and the Statesman Journal. Duckworth should have plenty of sources so hopefully in tribute we can get his article up to standards. With the SJ, hopefully we can get it above a stub so all three of the top three papers are no longer stubs, and maybe even a DYK and GA like we got from the Register-Guard?

WP:ORE COTW Version 2.2
Hello WikiProject Oregon contributors. It's time for another COTW. Thank you to those who helped improve Kevin Duckworth and the Statesman Journal last week, we received another DYK for the SJ. This week, by request we have Mr. Ken Kesey and not by request Nike, Inc..

Speedy deletion of High and Dry Bluegrass Festival
A tag has been placed on High and Dry Bluegrass Festival requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

Greetings WikiProject Oregon editors. It's time for another edition of the COTW. Thank you to those who helped improve Ken Kesey and the Nike, Inc. last week. This week, by request we have the Northwest Forest Plan and then a Red Link Elimination Drive.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Bluegrass festivals in the Pacific Northwest, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Hello again from WikiProject Oregon’s Collaboration of the Week HQ. Since there was no notice last time, thanks to those who helped improve Mike Riley and Mike Bellotti at the begging of the month and to those who helped create Oregon Department of Justice and Lindsay Applegate last week.

For this week, in honor of Arctic Blast/Winter Storm/Damn its Freakin’ Cold Outside 2008/Storm of the Century/Is there ANYTHING else on going on in the world?/We Might Actually Have a White Christmas, we have Snow Bunny.

Is http://www.wargs.com/political/larouche.html really a reliable source? It appears to be a self-published source. If so, it would be unsuitable for WP:BLP articles. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 05:23, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * PS: What's up with Category:Descendants of John Tripp? That is, why do we care who is descended from this apparently non-notable person? (Though it is ironic that a shared ancestor makes LaRouche a cousin of Winston Churchill, whom he hates). ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 05:23, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Note that William Jefferson Blythe, Jr. also cites the same genealogist and his research has been used by the Washington Post and other newspapers, as well as numerous genealogical sites. I notice he has co-authored with Gary Boyd Roberts of the NEHGS, and works for the Library of Congress. Breffni Whelan (talk) 08:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I see William Addams Reitwiesner is described on one blog as "oft quoted". There is an exception for using self-published experts, but I'm still a bit doubtful since he marks the LaRouche genealogy as neither "exhaustive or definitive, but rather as a first draft." And who is John Tripp? ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 18:16, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Article nominated for deletion
I'm sorry that I had to do this: Articles for deletion/Bigfoot trap. Northwestgnome (talk) 05:22, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Categories for everything
While we appreciate your hard work on Southern Oregon related topics, I wanted to make sure you were aware of the guideline about overcategorization. Specifically Small with no potential for growth, which is what many of these categories on media and people are. There is no set numbers, but my rule of thumb is you need to have 5 existing articles to even start a category, and it needs the potential to grow to a minimum of 10. There are a few exceptions, such as "People by county", but per the OVERCAT guideline, these are accepted as part of a larger categorization scheme. Not every little city, hamlet, and community needs categories for themselves or even their residents, as there just will not be that many people or articles from that community, there just are not enough notable topics in each place. Don't get me wrong, something like Media in Jackson County is fine since there are around 20 articles that could go in there (also see WP:CAT in general since if a radio station is in the sub category of the Medford radio stations cat, then it does not go into the parent Jackson County radio stations category), but as there are only two newspapers at present (and how many others do you think would pass notability guidelines?), the newspaper one is overcategorization and would likely be deleted. I say this only to help keep you from wasting your energy on categories that are likely to be deleted. Let me know if you have any questions. Aboutmovies (talk) 08:35, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Nice work
Nice job categorizing the various Rhode Island articles. It will be a big help to researchers. Swampyank (talk) 15:01, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Musings on Category:Canaan, Connecticut
In view of the the confusing aspects of Canaan (i.e., that there is a town of Canaan that is generally known as Falls Village and does not include the village that is shown on maps as "Canaan"), does it make sense to have Category:Canaan, Connecticut? I'm not sure what to propose as an alternative, but I have a concern that the category -- and the included category Category:People from Canaan, Connecticut -- may even add to confusion, instead of helping people. I imagine you've thought about this already -- what are your views? --Orlady (talk) 22:37, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Maybe it should be phrased "Canaan (town), Connecticut"? These categories have been applied to legal towns or cities in Connecticut - villages are filed under the town they are located in. This has been done, for example with Greenville (town), New York - in Greene County, to differentiate it from the other Greenvilles in NY. The people are another issue - I don't know if there's any way of finding out just what part of pre-1858 Canaan someone was born - after that there may still be an issue. So, rather than throw up my hands, I'll file them under both places, with a note. If you think of something that works better, feel free to change it. Breffni Whelan (talk) 00:14, 19 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for 'splaining. The creation of Category:Canaan (town), Connecticut seems to have resolved the problem. The only page left in the Category:Canaan, Connecticut category is the old postcard image of a tree -- most likely that tree was in Canaan village (aka the CDP), which is in the town of North Canaan. --Orlady (talk) 05:11, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Category: Willimantic, Connecticut
Hello! I was wondering why you're adding everything from Category:Willimantic, Connecticut into Category:Windham, Connecticut? Why not just sub Category:Willimantic, Connecticut into Category:Windham, Connecticut? Otherwise, the Willimantic category is useless. Markvs88 (talk) 18:54, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Guess if it was a larger category it would be better to subdivide, but given that not a lot fits under Windham, Willimantic, and People from Windham/Willimantic, it just seems to work okay to have Willimantic items featured under both. Plus there's a few ambiguities (the Willimantic Elks club isn't in Willimantic?)  Maybe if I lived in Windham, I could do a more precise job of it, and maybe someone will.  There often ends up being ambiguities in categorizing these things, and the resolutions aren't perfect, but they work.  And this does too - someone wanting to know about Willimantic can find just those things, and someone looking for the whole current town of Windham, can find that.  About all it doesn't cover are all those places historically included in Windham (in the 17th and early-18th century) which no longer are. Breffni Whelan (talk) 03:01, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 * That's exactly it -- it would all fit under Windham County or Connecticut too. :-) Yeah, I generally go off what the article's sources say to make a final determination but there's a lot of ambiguity due to Willimantic's history. I only know a bit about the place from going to UConn in the 90s. Anyway, what do you think about subbing Willimantic under Windham? Markvs88 (talk) 11:36, 1 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I had put Willimantic under Windham as a subcategory yesterday. Now we have here under Willimantic a list of everything pertaining to Willimantic, and under Windham a list of everything pertaining to Windham (which includes Willimantic). We could do the same for Windham County or for Connecticut (or Earth!) but it would be really unwieldy.  But there are few enough total topics that unwieldiness is not an issue with Windham town.  One can now see all the Windham topics in one place at the same time (except for the people, but then we usually list people separate from other topics...)Breffni Whelan (talk) 18:30, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Robert J. Blackwell


A tag has been placed on Robert J. Blackwell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the importance of the subject,. Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

Wikipedia is one of the most-visited sites on the internet—and it’s created by people who volunteer their time to write and edit pages. Learn how to edit Wikipedia and be a part of shaping our understanding of our world. In this workshop, volunteer Wikipedia editors will be on hand to train participants on how to get started editing pages and offer ideas for which pages you can pitch in to help improve. Show up at any point during the four hours to get started!

Also: Free burritos!! We will be providing vegan, vegetarian, and meat burritos from food cart Loncheria Las Mayos. Alder Commons has a large, fenced playground. Children are welcome! Some computers will be available to borrow, but if you have a laptop, please bring it to use. We will also be leading an online training for new editors at 11am-12pm PST. Please feel free to join that training if you are not able to show up IRL.

This event is part of the international month of events organized by Art+Feminism, which is building a community of activists committed to closing information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts, beginning with Wikipedia. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Kamb, Southern Highlands Province


The article Kamb, Southern Highlands Province has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Does not appear to be a legally-recognized settlement. USGN calls it a 'populated place' which is their lowest/least formal designation for a settlement, below even village. Nothing found on a search that would indicate it's a GNG-compliant non-recognized settlement."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

The article Kip, Southern Highlands Province has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Does not appear to be a legally-recognized settlement. USGN calls it a 'populated place' which is their lowest/least formal designation for a settlement, below even village. Nothing found on a search that would indicate it's a GNG-compliant non-recognized settlement."

Proposed deletion of Fall Creek, Oregon


The article Fall Creek, Oregon has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unsourced; most information that was found was about the creek, and not any community. The best I could do is, which describes a Fall Creek Improvement Association, but even that is vague about what Fall Creek is/was. Likely just an 'area' rather than a defined community.  Without better information there is nothing here for an article; fails WP:GEOLAND.  The bit about covered bridges is irrelevant and could be in another article, if sources could be found."
